SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of California elementary schools

Summary

San Lauren Elementary is a K–6 school in Bakersfield’s Beardsley Elementary district, serving 417 students. In 2025–2026, 20% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math and 9% in science. The most important concern is that proficiency fell in all three subjects from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026 while California’s rates rose, widening the school’s gaps with the state.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, but science is its weakest compared with nearby schools. Math proficiency was 24 percentage points below the state rate but 2 points above the district rate; ELA was 30 points below the state and 4 below the district, while science was 27 below the state and 7 below the district. Among 10 nearby schools, San Lauren ranked third-lowest in ELA and math and second-lowest in science. Its scores were also below nearby-school averages: 20% versus 36% in ELA, 15% versus 27% in math and 9% versus 22% in science. So math is a relative bright spot against the state and district, but no subject is above the nearby-school average.

The longer-term results and rankings point to declining relative standing. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency fell from 30% to 20%, math from 19% to 15% and science from 22% to 9%; the state’s rates rose in each subject over that period. SchoolDigger ranked San Lauren at the 6th percentile in 2025–2026, with 0 stars, down from the 49th percentile in 2015–2016. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.9, close to the nearby-school average of 21.8. In 2024–2025, 95% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools reporting that same measure. One positive distinction in SchoolDigger’s student-group measure: the Special Education Students effectiveness percentile was 17 in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 6; the group measure had risen from 3 in 2023–2024.
